This volume explores the social and political forces behind constitution -making from a global perspective. It combines leading theoretical perspectives on the social and politi- cal foundations of constitutions with a range of in -depth case studies on constitution - making in nineteen different countries. In the ? rst part of the volume, leading scholars develop theories that regard constitutions as coordination devices, mission statements, contracts, products of domestic power play, transnational documents, and as re? ection of the will of the people, respectively. In the second part of the volume, these theories are examined through case studies of the social and political foundations of constitu- tions in countries like Egypt, Nigeria, Japan, Romania, Bulgaria, New Zealand, Israel, Argentina, and others. The result is an examination from various social science perspec- tives in social science of constitutions as social phenomena and their interaction with other social phenomena. The approach re? ected in the volume combines theoretical analysis of constitutions generally with case studies of selected constitutions. Denis J. Galligan is Professor of Socio -Legal Studies at the Centre for Socio -Legal Studies at Oxford University.
